No. 3 UConn survives Georgetown 64-62 for 14th consecutive victory

WASHINGTON (AP) — Tarris Reed Jr. had 15 points and 11 rebounds, and third-ranked UConn held off Georgetown 64-62 on Saturday for its 14th consecutive victory. Silas Demary Jr. scored 12 points and Braylon Mullins added 11 for the Huskies (18-1, 8-0 Big East), who improved to 11-0 against the Hoyas since rejoining the Big East. The 11 consecutive victories match UConn’s longest winning streak ever against Georgetown. Vince Iwuchukwu had 12 points and 14 rebounds and KJ Lewis added 12 points for the Hoyas (9-9, 1-6), who have lost five in a row. Lewis pulled Georgetown within 63-60 with 32.7 seconds left, and the Huskies’ Solo Ball then missed two free throws. But Lewis was short with a 3-pointer on the Hoyas’ next trip, and Mullins made 1 of 2 foul shots to bump UConn’s lead to four.
